Ok here goes. We actually booked the trip for the end of summer. And yes we will be getting married there, if everything falls into place.

And yes some of the stories were about how relentless some of the men will be towards her even when i'm with her.

I also have a friend with dreads who said people spit at his feet multiple times, called him names, and threatened him, when he was in jamaica. Although he was in kingston, and ocho rios it was 2006. He also comes off a bit metrosexual, so maybe that had something to do with it.

And some of you hit it on the head. We are nervous traveling to anywhere, not just jamaica. And we have always wanted to go there. It seems silly to be targeted because of a hairstyle, however in our country there are certain places you can't go wearing red or blue because you will be targeted because of that. That seems just as silly to me, but it is a reality that needs to be dealt with.

Also we do not want to disrespect anyones belief system.

She is a sensitive girl, and i think we should be prepared if there is a clear danger.

thanks in advance for the next 4 pages. haha

deebee, think carefully about this. u want to go to jamaica to get married, possibly without friends and family, and ur both nervous travellers, and are unsure of how u'll be received in jamaica.

don't start ur marriage off with stress and lack of support. that's all i'm saying.

I was going to say the same thing, plus recommend that choosing an island with a &quot;quieter&quot; reputation like Dominica or St. Lucia. It gone already, them book it. So all that's left to do is wish them <span style="font-style: italic">bon voyage</span>.

Re: White people with dreads.

true, BlackStar, i overlooked that part about them booking it already for the summer.

bon voyage to them, and i encourage them to go with as open a mind and heart as possible.

maybe caz dem tink himma style dread? but what kills me is that other people would be so concerned about what other people choose to live. even black people with dreads get dissed because &quot;dem annoh real rasta&quot;. some jamaican people make it their duty to dictate to even strangers about their mental or other state. i don't know where that comes from but it's ignorant at best.


good luck to you guys on your wedding. where do you plan on staying? </div></div>

Thank you for that insight, Sue!

Oh, right. They probably thought he was a &quot;dreaded &gt; pun not intended &lt; homosexual&quot;......

Those are the only people who should definately NOT go to Jamaica on vacation.....!!!

Re: White people with dreads.

Hey, I think you should definately go to Jamaica, you'll have a whale of a time!!!
The people - well, not the criminals, obviously - are wonderful, the nature stupendous and the vibe is heavenly......chill out man!!

And, so what if she gets attention from other men? At least you can say, Hey buddy, you can look but she is with ME!!
Anyway, I quite enjoy - admittedly, only charming - attention from men. Makes you feel like a woman!!
Not like this town &quot;where the men ignore the women completly....&quot;

But, if you are looking at other isles in the Carib, I can reccommend Dominican Republic and Cuba
